Poems by George William Russell
The Virgin Mother
... Lover, your heart, the heart on which it lies, ...
The Earth Breath
... Through the woodlands purple plumage ...
Benediction
... And the fire divine in all things burning ...
Dana
... And I weave My spells at evening, folding with dim caress, ...
In As Much
... When the white limbs were clothed ...
The Faces of Memory
... Your tree of life put forth these flowers ...
The Nuts of Knowledge
... I think when night towers up aloft and shakes the trembling dew, ...
Alien
... Through rapt at gaze with eyes of light ...
A Summer Night
... Heard through the stillness, as in whispered words, ...
Alter Ego
... Where the ring of twilight gleams ...
A New World
... And with the earth my heart is glad, ...
Hope in Failure
... The beauty that breathes in thy spirit shall shape of thy sorrow a flower, ...
When
... Leaves the flowers uncurled, ...
The Christ-sword
... I found How deep the glance of love can wound, ...
The Everlasting Battle
... Has smote the horror in the heart where clouds of demon glooms take wing, ...
